More like a mom and pop hotel than chain

There are several pros and cons to this hotel. I will start with the pros. It is easily accessible from I-75. The bed is very comfortable (although pillows were hard in my opinion). The offer a very comfortable recliner in the king rooms, this was a definite plus! The walls between rooms seemed quite insulated as we heard no one on either side. Now to the cons. There was no handicapped access on the side of the building we were on. This side was very old and worn out looking. There is construction going on directly next door and they begin working at 7am. If you are in a room on that side (which we were), plan to be woken up at 7am. That is, unless other guests are leaving at 6am, which they were. The exterior walls of this outside entrance hotel are extremely thin. They do not have central air, instead have the front wall unit. I kept the fan running all night to help mask the noise, but I was still up until after midnight due to all the noise from people getting to their hotel room. Upon arriving, right after we got into our room, we could here the conversation of a couple who were sitting outside their room four doors down. BTW, they were outside the room smoking because no smoking is allowed in the rooms. Pets are welcome. The room was very musty smelling...There are several pros and cons to this hotel.

BTW, they were outside the room smoking because no smoking is allowed in the rooms. Pets are welcome. The room was very musty smelling upon entering. The room has definitely seen better days aesthetically, but was clean. The bathtub was horrible. Apparently they didn't cover the bathtub when they painted the bathroom and the paint dripped in huge clumps all over the bath. They didn't take the time to clean it up. The shower head was just right for me, at 5'5", but anyone taller would need to bend down to get under the shower head. The toilet did not flush unless you held it down till everything was gone. Breakfast was ok, basic continental with a waffle maker. The deadbolt lock on the door would not turn. I called the front office about this and was told that it really did work, it just came on when you shut the door. I seriously question this as the door unlocked quite easily with the key card and shouldn't have if the deadbolt was working. There are three floors and no elevator. Fortunately, they said all king rooms are on the first floor. The final thing I question about this hotel is why did they have plastic taped all around the smoke detector? See picture.More

We want to say I'm sorry for the construction right next door. The people that smoke outside of the rooms we do asked them to step away from the building and we have signs up asking them to go 25 feet away from the building. We were built in the 80's are we and outside property. We have work that needs to be done and I know it will be wonderful when it gets started. The deadbolt really does activate when you shut the doors. We do have 2 elevators through out the property. I appreciate you staying with us and we hope you have a great day.

Appreciated the ability to reserve room with connecting doors- plenty of space for all. Value price made two rooms possible. Thank you front desk for extra toothpaste and razor. Mini conveniences/snacks/drinks for sale made stay even more comfortable.

We booked this hotel because it was the cheapest in the area, there was no refrigerator in the room. Breakfast left a lot to be desired! I stay at LaQuinta’s all over the United States and I would have to rate this the lowest that I have ever stayed at with the chain!

Room tip: its a hotel grab it and go

HIghly recommend La Quinta in Gainsville. A good choice for an overnight stay. Very comfy beds. Good location, just of I-75. Breakfast is included in the rate. We got the AARP rate, so for us, it was a very good value.

Great for one night while traveling on I 75, and with a pet. Breakfast standard continental and make a waffle. Looked like nice outdoor pool. Room was comfortable, a bit dated but super clean. Easy off and on the interstate.
